Not sure why it's directed at me, but yes, he was excellent.
He also contributed to the second goal with a surging run.
I think the moral of the story is that some (by no means all) posters should be a little less knee-jerk. Our defence has been good overall and all of them will make mistakes at some point, that doesn't mean we have to immediately bin them off.
Well I’m going against the consensus on this thread then. Because there’s a mistake every game in Edmundson, and he was responsible for their first goal. He didn’t deal with the ball and drifted out wide ( wrong side of the player), as the ball dropped. It was basic defending . Sorry, but I’m not keen on him. Burgess.

Nope hes our best defender wolfenden is the trouble and almost cost us game today
Davis got a lot of the praise on the commentary, but Edmundson driving forward force him to make the run. Great to see it, as we often only see JD driving forward to create things.
Edmundson btw, not meaning to be pedantic, just seen in in a few of your posts :)

That run was what made the goal.

Woolfenden (two 'o's in the Suffolk spelling) was excellent today apart from misreading the flight of the ball for the first penalty. He positions himself so well to use his body to dominate attackers and stop them getting to the ball, and he's calm in possession and pretty good with his distribution, bar the occasional error. A class above League 1 level.

Every player will make mistakes. I find there is little between Edmondson and Woolfenden in this respect. Players that are not playing suddenly become ones that rarely make a mistake too!
The really good thing about our team is that they often cover for each other's mistakes. Clearly not always or we would never concede a goal.

Re watch the Portsmouth first goal. Edmondson doesn't deal with the long ball, Woolfie gets done by the next ball. That first goal was down to the Fridge firstly. Although otherwise he had an excellent game. But we need to judge better when to just get rid and when to play from the back.
No it was not. It was directly in front of me and it was Edmundson. Il clarify this further . I’m talking about Edmundson cock up further up the pitch. This is the sort of thing he’s always doing. He makes a bad decision and it costs us. Woolfie was trying to cover for that mistake . He didn’t even make a tackle on 5e player in the box. The Pompey player did what they’d done all afternoon, slighted touch and they go down.
My point is , either one of our CB’s have a mistake in them EVERY game that in invariably cost us a goal. Every game. In my humble opinion they are not good enough for a team looking for promotion.
WE gave goals every week to our opponents . I can’t honestly recall a single goal scored against us where the opposition have cut us open defensively. The really galling thing is , we always seem to concede against the run of play, and when there is minimal pressure on us. It’s ridiculous, and it happens nigh on every week.
It seems to me that Edmundson, Woolfy and Walton were all at fault for the goal. Edmundson's clearance went to one of their players, Woolfy misjudged the flight of the ball, and Walton didn't need to bring down their player because Woolfy and JD had got back to cover the goal. In Woolfy's defence, the ball didn't bounce properly for a dry pitch, and skidded through.
But these things happen in football and let's get things in perspective. Yes, we have conceded two goals in each of the last three games but we have played against the top teams and two of the goals were dodgy, the Smith goal against Wednesday and yesterday's second penalty which I didn't think was a foul. And we have conceded 10 goals in 11 games which is equal or lower than the other teams in the top 5.
So let's keep the faith.
EDIT: Yesterday's game was the most exciting game I've seen for a while, and overcoming the two penalties only added to the excitement and shows just how much character we now have. So let's take the positives.

Thus far you're the only person I've seen on here attempting to blame Edmundson for the goal. He made an interception further up field where he won the ball ahead of the defender, Morsy was then beaten to the rebound (although he had little chance from his position) and then Wolfie made a mistake reading the bounce. I think it's quite a stretch to try and pin the first goal on Edmundson. Not sure what you are on about with the tackle, Edmundson was nowhere near any players he could challenge in the box.
You can see it here:
I think your general point is rubbish though, we have conceded the joint least goals of anyone in the league and we have had 6 clean sheets in the league.
It's comedic to think we can get huge improvements in the CB area - the 4 we have are superb for this level. All defenders will make mistakes, ours make less than most and also are able to play out of defence which is key to our strategy. Two goals in recent weeks have come directly from Edmundson storming out of defence with the ball and carrying it deep into the oppositions half. Wolfie and Donacien also do that well.
The "our CBs aren't good enough" trope is becoming very tiresome.

Re-read the post.
'...excellent today apart from misreading the flight of the ball for the first penalty.'
To be clear I'm talking about the flight of the final ball put through by their 15. Woolfy didn't get to the bounce because he misread the flight of that ball.
Edmundson could have been stronger in clearing the first ball, but Scarlett? did very well in both of those challenges, and our two blokes did very well throughout the rest of the game.
Really pleased to hear that Edwards seems to be getting his mojo back. Offers something no one else does; such an exciting player.
Superb when he came on, my god his pace is something else, massive player for us especially from the bench, hopefully he's settled here now, good to see him and Ladapo(very good too) enjoying the win after the final whistle, you need that joy to play at your best I think..

I’d say that’s harsh in Edmundson. He’s git a Pompey player in front of him, who he shadows well. He wins the ball but it cones off his knee so doesn’t get the power he wants. Morsy can’t get to the ball fist and we lose possession.
Had Woolfy read the flight of the ball correctly, anything that happened previously would have been irrelevant.
